What were you saving him for? Overtime!?!Kofi comes in, refs would have taken him right back out.

Bad shot selection, no ownership of the offense, passiveness instead of aggressiveness. I get that fouls change the strategy, but 2-14 isn't on the refs. That was only a part of it. This team doesn't know how to win and needs to learn fast.You don't think the game changed when Kofi and Giorgi were racking up fouls. What was that 3 fouls on Kofi in 30 seconds? Yeah, that's the refs dude.
Giorgi shouldn't have taken those shots. He wasn't going to get a call no matter what. I wouldn't call him selfish.Ineptitude in the half court offense.
Giorgi being a very selfish player and never passing.
Underwood not calling a TO to setup what should have been the final shot.
Kofi wasting the last 5 minutes on bench to save him for what? The last 2 seconds?
Refs gifting Maryland 2 FTs with no time left to win the game.
Make me fell better about this.
This ones on Brad... again. A game we shouldn’t expect to win but should have. No poise in last 10 minutes. Went away from everything that was working in first half. I’m not on the fire Brad train but that finish was sadly what most of us have been conditioned to expect. The foul on feliz at the end was inexcusable from the refs. They let free throws decide it.
You missed the joke.How on Earth do you still believe this.
Relax people. We were playing the #3 team on the road. This wasn't a game we were expected to win; in fact we exceeded the expectations going into the game. That being said...TERRIBLE last minute. That timeout call was inexcusable. Not giving up on the season though. Michigan game will be very important.
What were you going to do? Illinois wasn't going to get a call. The refs would have hit him with a magical foul. The only way for Illinois to score was going to be from the guard position.What were you saving him for? Overtime!?!
No...we let Terps back in. Couple of close calls but we had a frickin 15 point lead and gave it away. Refs didnt give this away. Dre is more at fault than refs....and I don t place full blame on him, not the refs.Freaking refs gave the game away. Unbelievable. But we seriously needed a timeout that last possession not one on one
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but just so utterly wrong.Relax people. We were playing the #3 team on the road.

Deservedly so.Ok...this thread is going to get hot stupid. I'm out.
You’ll look at the box score, and almost all the stats will favor the Illini. They just missed FT, made turnovers and gave up a 35-foot 3 pointer at the absolute worst times.
The last bit... the foul call. They decided it.Ineptitude in the half court offense.

The game changed with the fouls. You don't run the same sets. You have people playing that in situations you wouldn't normally play them. Yeah, phantom calls are kind of like body blows. They eventually have an affect.Bad shot selection, no ownership of the offense, passiveness instead of aggressiveness. I get that fouls change the strategy, but 2-14 isn't on the refs. That was only a part of it. This team doesn't know how to win and needs to learn fast.
If our offense doesn't fall apart in the last ten minutes, that long three pointer doesn't matter all that much.
When did Kofi get his 5 foul requiring him to sit out the rest of the game? Errr, wait, he didn't. Stop blaming the refs.You don't think the game changed when Kofi and Giorgi were racking up fouls. What was that 3 fouls on Kofi in 30 seconds? Yeah, that's the refs dude.
While I agree with you re: not being expected to win, we had a chance for and desperately needed a signature win to keep our tourney hopes alive. I understand why people are upset.Relax people.
